Overview

Elevated sarcoplasmic enzymes are consistent with the diagnosis of polymyositis and dermatomyositis which include creatine phosphokinase, aldolase, transaminases, lactic dehydrogenase, and myoglobin. High white blood cell counts, low lymphocytes, and low hematocrit levels might be detected on CBC. Low albumin levels, high ESR and high IgM and IgG levels could be seen in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis. 20 myositis-specific autoantibodies are identified in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Anti-Jo-1 antibody is the most frequent myositis-specific autoantibodies which causes antisynthetase syndrome. Anti Mi-2 might be seen frequently in patients with dermatomyositis. Anti-SRP antibody is associated with very poor prognosis. Some of these myositis-specific autoantibodies are associated with malignancy. Anti-HMGCR antibody might be elevated in patients with statin-associated necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (SANAM).

Laboratory Findings

Different laboratory tests may be used to diagnose polymyositis and dermatomyositis and exclude other myopathies which include:^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]
